Aw, man!!! We're hating on Cromwell now? **** that. I'm not down with that. The powers that be made me take two Western Civ classes in college in between learning real ****. Reading a shitload about Oliver Cromwell was the only consolation prize. He was a fucking raging badass. I'm a fanboy.

You are the ace troll. Cromwell was one of the absolute biggest dipshits in all of Britain's sordid history. A vicious Puritan.

Cromwell was buried in Westminster Abbey. This is where kings and queens were buried. His son, Richard, took over leadership of the country. However, Richard was clearly not up to the task and in 1660 he left the job.

In that year, 1660, Charles II was asked to return to become king of England. One of Charles’ first orders was that Cromwell’s body should be dug up and put on 'trial' as a traitor and regicide (someone who is responsible for the execution/murder of a king or queen). His body was put on trial, found guilty and symbolically hanged from a gallows at Tyburn (near Hyde Park, London). What was left of his body remains a mystery. Some say the body was thrown on to a rubbish tip while others say it was buried beneath the gallows at Tyburn. His head was put on display in London for many years to come.

This is from a battle about 25 miles from my house. The English with their indian allies burned a fortified village to the ground, killing between 400 and 700 people. No prisoners were taken. Most of the dead were women and children.

This was fairly standard conduct for the English/Americans during their indian wars.

An individual's level of badmotherfuckerness is not dictated by their belief system or what variety of spaghetti monster they pray to.

Cromwell was born a regular dirty toothed limey similar to yourself, but when he grew up he decided to go say to the King "Hey King, I think I'll be in charge now. If that displeases you, I would suggest telling your Mum about it after you finish lickin' deez nuts."

You should try to be more like Ollie. 100% Grade-A badass ************.
